If they're expensive then you could try selling them again? Or give them to charity.

I'm from East Manchester in the UK!

I'm in.

Looking at your diary, you're not even netting 1000 calories somedays (I can see you said you were sick somedays, obviously that's fair enough) but that is a big reason why you're hungry! You need to eat more & you need to be netting AT LEAST 1200 calories.

I was eating 1200 (sometimes barely even that) & I was so hungry all the time & so tired. So I thought enough is enough & upped it to 1580 & lost 3lbs. And I've lost 5lbs since then. It's only been a month since I started so I think it's done wonders eating more. You just have to see what's right with your body but you…

You're doing everything right, just make sure you're drinking plenty of water & make sure you weigh yourself when you wake up first thing (after bathroom breaks). There's no way you can just gain 5lbs in a week or two without overeating ridiculously so I'd go with the water weight theory. Just keep going & eating back your…

You're not eating enough & you need to see a doctor.

I agree, I was eating 1200 & some days even lower than that thinking I was doing good, but I didn't lose any weight because my body was starving. I upped my calories & lost 3lbs pretty much instantly. I think it's good for weight loss to eat close to your BMR & it's also especially important for LIFE. You need a lot of…

I don't like feeling awful in my clothes. I want to actually FEEL good rather than look good. Comfort is a big thing with me. If I feel like my stomach is bulging over my trousers even though it probably isn't that bad, then I just don't feel confident. I've lost nearly a stone & the stomach is slowly retreating & this is…

Lots of water & painkillers if you have any.

It occurs once every two weeks I guess. I think the reason for me is that I love food. I love the taste of it & once I've had a taste of something I love, I just can't stop. I'll stop when there is none of it left! I used to probably go over around 1000-2000 cals but lately I've only done it so that I go over by about…

I had 200 cals left tonight so I had some cookies. Totally worth it ;o)

I'd say that as long as it is natural sugar then don't worry. It's the added sugar that's your enemy. :)

Thank you for this. I have been struggling with my 1200 cal goal for months now & yes, I've lost 12lbs, but it's not enough for the amount of time I've been at it. So starting from today, I'm upping my calories. My BMR is around 1600cals a day, so I've put my calorie goal at 1580 (which according to MFP should give me a…

Hey, I'm from just outside Manchester :) I'm 23 & I've lost 12lbs on here x

I'm the same! I lost 17 pounds & then gained 9 over Christmas :( Lets do this!

I'm in! I slipped a little this week so I need to get back on it. Looking forward to having some goals!

You could be gaining muscle instead :)

I'd just enjoy myself! You can make it up by being good for the following week, drink plenty of water & do lots of exercise :) Either way I wouldn't worry too much.
